You can use them however you like. Once they've been cooked you can add them to your yogurt. You will not need very much at all if your simply adding some to yogurt.

These are dried elderberries. They need to be cooked to be consumed. They have a hardness like that of dried split peas. I hope that gives you an idea as to why they can't be consumed right out of the bag.

This yogurt maker makes regular yogurt. If you want Greek yogurt all you have to strain the yogurt afterwards in the strainer provided. If you just want regular yogurt you skip the last step.

I use any good PLAIN Greek Yogurt, but a good PLAIN regular yogurt will work as well -- just look to see if it has active cultures (most all of them do) and I get it at the supermarket.

I topped frozen vanilla Greek yogurt with it, put it on English muffins, and ate it right out of the jar. I've also seen some tasty recipes for lemon cupcakes filled with this.

Hi...so many Greek yogurts are different. I love the yogurt it makes. It is expensive but does make a whole leter. I tried to make my own powered yogurt but failed. I like this so much because it doesn't use electricity I make it on our boat. It also fits on the door of our small boat fridge. Hope that helps.

You can use Stevia in place of sugar (or honey) and you can puree some fruit and add instead of whole pieces.Jill Merrill

adjust to your own preference. start with about 1/2 cup. i usually add some ice chips too. sometimes use skim milk, or almond drink. it mixes up easily. i like mine thicker, and eat it with a tablespoon! quite good in blender with fruit too. hope u like it!

All Greek yogurt is is yogurt that has more of the whey removed from it when it is yogurt. However, if you are looking for a thicker richer version of yogurt, you can use 1/2 half & half & 1/2 regular milk to make a very thick Greek yogurt like consistency in this machine. This is what I use & do. Heavy cream makes it more watery, so dont try that thinking it will make it thicker. It wont.

It is much cheaper to make your own than to buy store brands like Sambucol. You just boil 3/4 to 1 cup of the dried berries in a quart of water until the liquid is reduced by half, strain it through a cheesecloth, add 1/2 to 1 cup of raw honey, sugar or pure maple syrup according to taste, and put it in a jar in the fridge. If that's too much work you can make an elixir by steeping about 3 oz of the berries in a pint of good brandy with about half a cup of raw honey (or more to taste) in a sealed jar in your cupboard for 6 weeks.

Any yogurt can be "greek style" all you have to do is strain the whey out to the desired thickness. You can do this with the yogurt maker you have by lining a colander with cheese cloth and draining the yogurt. What makes this maker nice is it comes with a strainer that you can pop in the dishwasher when done. Much less messy and I really like this yogurt maker.

Take a colindar(?) and line it with cheesecloth. Dump the yogurt in and leave it for about an hour. I love Greek yogurt as well, and it works.

Yes, I use this yogurt maker to make thick Greek-style coconut milk yogurt all the time. You can find my simple recipe here: http://thenourishinghome.com/2014/03/make-greek-style-yogurt-no-straining-required/ I hope this helps. Blessings, Kelly

I have the chocolate kind and mix it with almond milk and honey and use a hand blender. Or, sometimes I put it with frozen bananas, blueberries, vanilla protein powder and almond milk in a blender and make a delicious breakfast smoothie:)

I always use my homemade batch as a starter. My first batch I divide up into 3 tablespoon servings into multiple ziplock snack bags that I put in the freezer. The culture will keep when frozen, plus it is your strongest batch. Make another batch with 3 tbl spoons from the 1st batch. Then I eat my yogurt and leave over about 3 tbs for the next batch over and over until one batch seems a little too loose, then go to the freezer and start over. Think of the savings!!!

I never mixed w water. I always use almond coconut milk or added it to a smoothy w plain Greek yogurt at the base. It mixes well.

Berry yogurt was just OK, but I preferred vanilla Greek yogurt. I'd like to try coconut and banana flavors also. My favorite chocolate "fix" is to add the mix to vanilla yogurt and eat it like frosting. I also cook one serving size in the microwave.
